Thanks Phlog and Ron. Sorry for being in a hurry, patience was never my long suit! Yes, with the new assembly I received from a phorum member I did receive a couple black "washers" with tabs that wanted to fit around the spring clip. I didn't realize they were fiber. Also I found a "ring" of insulating material that could isolate that spring tab from the shaft. I can disassemble the part and put it back in such that I think the spring part will not go to ground without being pressed down to contact the the rotating part with the yoke. I still don't see how that will mute the radio when it appears the switch should take the volume control center tap (if I read the schematic part properly) and short it to ground. How does that line get to the spring clip? Even now all seems to be grounded to the shaft and the radio is not in a mute mode.
Sorry, just confused in Arizona.

Thanks for the help. Jerry

PS: Phlog, I have not heard back yet on the process of making a few tube shield assemblies for the 111 and 112. Will let you know when I get my one back I sent for a "model".
